Because the increases in accidents and emergencies require less time and faster access whenever possible in order to reduce the chances of death, This study designed an ambulance management system (AMaSy) which utilize GIS, GPS, and GPRS that was tested in principle in Al-Mansoura City - EGYPT. The proposed system takes into consideration the emergency cases that could possibly occur. The research work considers all possible cases. While an ambulance could already be occupied with one patient, the system considers it as an available ambulance and requests it for another case, being that the ambulance only needs a short period of time to drop-off the current case and that the second case is relatively close to the ambulance. This forces the ambulance to quicken the processes of drop-off and pick-up between the two cases. The main objective of this research work is to make an ambulance system which enables ambulances to have faster arrivals and take less time to reach accident sites.
